sat tv at last !!

second attempt at sat tv setup and its working ! so i would like to thank all the funsters who responded to my original post re:signal strength . i tried everything suggested but to no avail . i eventually uncovered the problem and the solution, so here it is, in the hope that it may benefit others who like me, try to set up a system using a old sky digibox given to them or bought off ebay / carboot etc . because they are originally designed to be used at home and therefore permantly plugged in ,they are continually being sent updated software signals to keep them functioning properly . when i checked with my mate (who gave me the box) it turned out it had been in the back of the cupboard for years !! so it needed resetting from scratch before i could even start to work on elevation angles etc . once i had done this via the remote and a 10 minute update it immediately kicked into life !! i am only getting channels 1-4 at the moment so i think i need a card now but compared to the other day it feels like a success . thanks again garry
